Mass Mailing Contact Name

and other dynamic place holders

In Odoo mass mailing module template, to render the contact name or other dynamic placeholder for fields, you need to use the mako expressions '${expr}' in the mail template. The placeholder token is different depending on the recipient object name.

When the Recipients type is Customer (fields of res.partner)

${object.name}

When the Recipients type is Applicant (fields of hr.applicant)

${object.partner_name}

When the Recipients type is Leads / Opportunities (fields of crm.lead)

${object.partner_name} or ${object.contact_name}

When the Recipients type is Mailing List (fields of mail.mass_mailing.contact)

${object.name}

Please Note: when you send the test email it is not rending the mako expressions.
